Snarky characters, insanely creepy sorcerers, epic quests and gallows humour, Master of One took me on a ride, giving me elder scrolls meets game of thrones vibes.
For a large chunk of this book I was unsure how I felt. Part of me wasn't sure if I was fully enjoying it, yet I couldn't put it down and found myself itching to pick it up when I wasn't reading it.
I loved the characters- especially Rags. He was such a smartass and all around little shit - but I did have to keep reminding myself that he was 16 not 12 ; sometimes he read a little younger? I don't know if that's just me.
The short chapters were refreshing and I enjoyed how well paced it was and the jumping character perspectives but i did slightly feel that while I enjoyed it, it did take something away from me getting to know the characters fully, and I felt a little like I was stumbling to keep up.
That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It was such a beautiful book with outstanding worldbuilding; a spectacular world shaded through with corruption and evil. I loved that the Fae were different from any other book I've read featuring Fae and I enjoyed Tal and Rags relationship.
And that slow build romance. Dayyymn. Living for it. I loved that it was a diverse cast, and that it included a trans character.
It was a great fantasy read and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book, which I kinda need right away.
